basketball state . . . there are some
850 schools enrolled in the Indiana
High School Athletic association,
all of which play, basketball . . .
only a hundred have football teams,
partly because the small schools
can’t get the material together.
Tournament play-offs begin the
first week of March . . . more than
a million tickets are sold for the
events, which include 64 section
al games, 16 regional games, 4
semi-finals, and the grand state
final. The Big Game is now held in
the Indianapolis coliseum. In the
34 years ci state tournaments,
Frankfort has won four titles, and
Franklin, Lebanon and Martins
ville have each grabbed the prize
three times.
Lieut. Col. Charles Leonard, in
charge of cadet military training at
West Point, holds a record that
will never be bettered . a 200
in pistol shooting ... it was in
1936, at an international meet in
Berlin! He took second place in
the other four events of the pen
tathlon . . . these are swimming,
riding, fencing, and cross country
running.
Ray (Sugar) Robinson, wel
terweight, maintains his right
to top ranking in his class . . •
he defeated two serious threats
within nine days ... on Feb
ruary 14 he knocked ont Sugar
Costner, a spectacular new
comer, in Chicago. He won a de
cision over Jack LaMotta in
New York on February 23. This
was the third time Robinson
had beaten LaMotta . . . and
LaMotta weighed 160 to Sugar’s
147 . . . Robinson now has a
string of 54 victories in 55 bouts
. . . the one defeat was admin
istered by this same LaMotta.

too. Pre-season’s schedules will be
reduced by from 8 to 23 games, in
an effort to comply with travel
restrictions. Walker Cooper, Card
